Spikey Haired Hicks heads for HT figures - Up for order again!

[Sniper33]

hey les i got a question to throw into the barrel. When painting a head and a error happens. how do you remove the paint? Normally I just try to whip it clean but sometimes it makes it uglier.

[Les Walker]

Thanks Hicks. You're a nut!

All this is stuff we really need to take to the Customs threads, and discuss, but I will say this, depending on how thick your paint is, you can either paint over it, or use some material to completely remove the paint. I don't like to do that often, because you can't always get all the paint off in the deepest recesses, and that loses valuable details.

Let's take this discussion to the Customs area and let this thread just be about this Hicks order. This is a business thread after all.

Thanks though guys.

Hey Les,

Any word on when the unpainted Hicks heads will be ready? My Hudson conversion is looking a little lonely without a head.

what did you end up doing to it?

 

[uscmhicks]

I snapped it in half by mistake !!.
It must not be strong!. Put it on my knee and it simply snapped !!
I was pretty annoyed but whatever!.
Shizzle happens I guess.

Soon my friend! If you have kept up with my Customs thread, I have only JUST gotten finished (mostly) with a ton of Jokers, and before those, Craig Bonds. I am due to start and finish some loose ones, figs on bodies, and some Supermans, then, all these Hicks! And there are a lot of them! And my deadline remains being finished with them by March 31st.
I am Very tired, but still working, so bear with me. THEY ARE COMING SOON!
This month! No matter what.

Sorry for the delays here! All due to my break, and workspace sorting woes I assure you. Have started back on these, but slowly. There is paint on ALL of them! Just not progressing fast yet. Bear with me all! I'll keep you all posted as best I can. Thanks for your INFINITE PATIENCE WITH ME!

icruise, sorry for the late answer bro! Clean it well and no, just paint away! Hope you got your's done.

customfig, sorry buddy, no more Hicks heads available this go round. Keep watching in future for another possible round. Thanks for asking.

No problem. I've been too busy to paint it actually, and now I'm in Japan for about 3 weeks so I won't be getting to it real soon. Just clean it with soap and water, then?

 

[SpawnFan]

So are you gonna start again with these heads anytime soon?!

 

[nicky]

Any updates, Les?
